OrganizerFAQ
1. What can I expect?
The goal of this course will be to write a 15-page essay in 5 weeks from inception to revision. This task will be challenging. Please do not sign up for this class if you don’t have the time to apply yourself to this project. However, if you are ready for a challenge and to learn a sweet trick of the trade, I wholeheartedly invite you to join me.
2. What kind of time commitment should I put aside for this course?
Please ensure you have significant time (at least an hour a day) to devote to your writing. The class is serious and intensive.
3. How do I know that this is for me?
The Kittredge schema is for advanced writers only. It is a complex schema to accomplish. As a writer, I find it difficult. You should be in fine shape if you have an MFA in creative writing, have written a creative nonfiction book published commercially, or have taken my Magical Craft 1.0 & 2.0 courses. Even so, you’ll want an hour a day to do your writing. If this can’t be accomplished, it may not be the course for you.
4. I’m not sure if I can produce on the spot.
Speaking or sharing your work in the course is 100% optional. If you’re worried about generating stories, no worries—you’re in charge. You can listen in and do none of the work, or you can listen in and do the work later. You’re in control of every level of your performance.
5. What’s the schedule?
I expect to have self-paced courses coming soon for those that want to work according to their own schedule. The next live course meets –
6. Is this tax-deductible?
Check with your accountant, but in most cases – yes! You’ll receive a receipt for use at tax time.
